I can't understand where you got that idea from. I find with Ada I can just sit down and code something, and most times, if the language allows what I've written, what the compiler produces does what I want. I could never say that about using C. >The numbers in this case do not signify much. This person supported you when >you first chose Ada. Did he / she go through the training courses ?

Maybe this person has decided that he/she should learn C++ because then they can get more money elsewhere. Best Regards John McCabe
